Analytische Verifikations-methode von Gebäude-simulationsprogrammen Test der Raumklimageräte Modellierung

This paper introduces the HVAC BESTEST method developed in conjunction with the International Energy Agency (IEA) Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) Programme, Task 22. An analytical verification and comparative diagnostic procedure is developed to test the ability of whole-building energy simulation programs to model the performance of unitary space-cooling equipment that is typically modelled using manufacturer design data presented as empirically derived performance maps. Field trials of the new procedure are carried out with specific simulation programs from the USA and Europe.
